>> Indeed he doesn't. He said in CNN a few years back that 50 humans are not worth one American in harms way. <<

so you are saying that we should sacrifice american lives across the planet in an effort to impose our moral will on the entire world? is that what you are saying? we as americans should make no distinction between our own citizens and foreign people? you are saying all life is equal, we should not protect american interests anymore than the interests of defenseless people across the world?

let me pose this to you. if humanity as a whole is more important than your own country and people, would you advocate trading the life of one american to save the life of two somalians? or two albanians? or two israelis? if not why not? would a different ratio change your mind? if we had to sacrifice one american to save ten lives elsewhere in the world, would you advocate that?

just exactly what ratio would be acceptable to you? would you lay down your life so two albanians can be spared from serb aggression?

think before you answer.
